....unfortunately some do stay along time . even brag about it .but a night or two isnt harming really. you can pay and stay in the carpark by the old station house...

That's the trouble though isn't it...some people do take the p*ss..

So maybe a 24 or 48hr max stay,is called for?....but that would  "cost",due to having to monitor/"police" it....

We were at Marazion in June and there were loads of motorhomes on the "apron" in front of the castle.  We didn't dare park there, firstly we would feel awkward blocking people's view and OH wasn't happy leaving the motorhome right next to the road.

The car park 50 yards down the road with the little kiosk is much better.  Cost us £4.00 for all day and we had plenty of room with a fab view.  I don't think £4.00 is that bad for Cornwall seeing as a car is £3.00.

I think the issue is that folk are pitching up and sleeping there...and not just parking-up,whilst "visiting" the area...

I'd assume that "overnighting" wouldn't be allowed at those carparks..?

Either way..I wouldn't have thought that folk pitching 20ft plus MHs on the seafront,between the seawall and the road,is really in the,supposed,spirit of  "Wildcamping"..?..

(..although,for getting you head down for one,free,night,whilst touring,I can see why folk would do it...)

Thanks for keeping us informed Alan...

Although,as some of my posts have probably indictated,I'm not the biggest fan of the outright cheek and general p*ss taking of some "wildcamping" MHers but as appears  as if pitching on the stretch has be "accepted" for many years now,it would perhaps be a shame if it was just stopped, rather than just looking into restrictions (or maybe small fees...?)

I must say though..it's a great view from there ..
